Nausea, Learner's Permits and Old Navy

Three tales of today.

This morning Kim, Mac and I got on the road early to go to the testing station for driver's permits (for those two). I spent the wee hours this morning hunting up their S.S. cards and their birth certs.  Three forms of ID are required here to get your permit... what do non-military kids use as a third form of ID I wonder?  I made everyone get up at 7:00 am this morning because school starts later this week and I want them in the habit by then.  I rush them through the showers and we head out the door.  I have not been kind, I've been frantic. I still need to take Kim shopping for pants for school. I need to get them tested and bring Mac home so we can head out to Old Navy.

I drive the kids out to the Dale county building that my hubby told me we needed.  Wrong building... get new driving directions.  Arrive at right place, get inside, get our names on the list... then realize I've forgotten all the forms they need to show.  Two choices.. make another round trip plus the time it takes to take the test, or postpone til tomorrow morning.   I chose to postpone because I still need to shop.

So, go home trade out Mac for Kendra and off we go to our closest "big" town to do some of that last minute school shopping. Hit Old Navy for pants.  Kim does not like hip huggers. She likes the sweetheart (mid-rise) that she can get at Old Navy. Success! Then off to buy shoes... two pair for Kendra.. but none for Kim.  She couldn't find anything she liked in her size. UGH.. .well.. I have a little time... I think half the problem is that she really likes her shoes that she has now.. (they have a split)... so nothing short of a clone is going to make her happy.

Finally...  Mac and I watched Cloverfield this afternoon.  I was nauseated for about the second half of the movie.  By the end I had a headache.  Good idea.. lousy execution of project.  Hated that there was no defnitive answer at the end. Reminded me of the Blair Witch Project.
